The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious
problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for
biological specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10 percentage
solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to
preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course
when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human's body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This
condition makes the people's health is really in a threat. When the control is weak
and the use formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these
days it has really happened, the citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with
the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and
dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the
substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?

other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

The government should Provide rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main
things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government
should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from
consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping
them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as
drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in
the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness.
Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.
